@Adam: IIRC that’ll still result in E_NOTICE when trying to get a value with nonexistent key, and thus such markup should be avoided.

They may not currently be migrating but a lot of them are going from 4 to 5. If the PHP community would get in contact with there hosts and start talking to them about upgrading they will (create demand and they will respond).

There are a lot of nice features in PHP 5 and the upcoming PHP 6. Unfortunately, most hosting companies have still not upgraded from PHP 4.

I personally can’t wait for the introduction of PHP6′s optional adaptation of the ternary operator. Instead of doing like:

$myVar = $_GET['myVar'] ? $_GET['myVar'] : ‘Not set’;

You will be able to do:

$myVar = $_GET['myVar'] ?: ‘Not set’;

How handy will that be!
